Under a previous pastor I had a weekly "Chant Mass" using "By Flowing Waters" and a chant Schola that sang the Communion Antiphons from the Graduale once a month. Under the new pastor the weekly chant mass disappeared but I have been sprinkling all the masses with BFW antiphons, and more recently St. Meinrad communion antiphons and congregational refrains. Now I've been told that all entrance, offertory and communions must be congregational (non antiphonal) singing. This is non-negotiable. We use the "Breaking Bread" throw away missal. It contains a few "chant hymns" such as "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" "Salve Regina" and "Adoro Te Devote". Are there any collections of chant hymns-preferably with English translations that I could use in my last-ditch effort to give chant pride of place. Thank you!
